Another uber luxurious home went on the market in Gables Estates yesterday: 1 Casuarina Concourse made it’s official debut at $67,000,000. It’s officially the highest priced home in Gables Estates, followed by 110 Arvida Parkway which is listed at $35,000,000, and my recent listing at 181 Leucadendra Drive which is offered at $22,500,000.

Currently owned and built by Alan Potamkin in 2000, the Casuarina home boasts 20,862 square feet, and 937 feet of water frontage on over three acres. I’ve been to the house on a couple of occasions and of course it is over-the-top beautiful, but the stand-out feature to me are the most magnificent collection of trees on the property.

For the luxury Buyer not ready to shell out $67,000,000 my listing at 181 Leucadendra is a stand-out gorgeous home of nearly 15,000 square feet (total sf is 17,500), and 270 feet of water frontage on over an acre of prime property. It is one of architect Cesar Molina’s greatest accomplishments.

The year was 1926 – Coral Gables was newly incorporated, the Biltmore Hotel had its inaugural ceremony, and the University of Miami enrolled its first class. Also created in 1926, 3016 Alhambra Circle not only shares the history of the ‘City Beautiful’ – like Coral Gables, this beautiful, regal, Old Spanish-style grand dame has gotten better!

Designed by Cesar Molina and Jodel Narcisse, and inspired by the Vanderbilt mansion on Fisher Island, this exquisite Mediterranean hacienda on the premier lagoon in Gables Estates, reigns as one of the most magnificent homes in this guarded community in Coral Gables along Biscayne Bay. A main house designed to follow the arc of the property and lagoon, two carriage houses, and a two-bedroom service house form the perimeter of a gracious courtyard of European scale. 270′ feet of water frontage (only a moment to the Bay) are flanked by gorgeous terraces, porticos, and a gazebo for opulent outdoor living. This is truly an exceptional estate.

We’re calling this “Casa Iluminada” because of the phenomenal collaboration of glass, natural light, and soaring ceilings. The home was built in 2008, and a gorgeous renovation took place in 2014. This gated residence is bar none the epitome of luxury, sensibility, and comfort, and so are the separate guest house, gym, and housekeeper’s quarters!

The finishes are exquisite, the Arclinea kitchen is over-the-top, the Brazilian Ipe solid wood floors are breathtaking, and the architectural nuances are fabulous. Come see for yourself! Website and floor plan will be up shortly!

Welcome to 515 San Antonio Avenue, the most prominent and beautiful home on the street! Built in 1990 with a mix of traditional Florida Vernacular and modernism, this 2-story gem is an architectural breath of fresh air, and functionally a home run!

Word is out that LeBron is officially clearing out of Miami, although he will remain in the hearts of locals and his spirit will forever remain at the American Airlines arena. The King’s Palace, very unassumingly located on a quiet side street in Coconut Grove, has been listed for $17,000,000.

There will be no snooping or gawking at 3590 Crystal View Court because it will only be shown to the most qualified Buyers, but I will tell you that it was beautiful when I saw it back in 2010 when EWM Realty International | Christies International Real Estate had the property listed for sale; and like the Miami Heat, once it was Lebronitized, it could only get better (LeBron purchased it for $9mil back then).

At nearly $1,400 per square foot some lucky Buyer is going to get gorgeous walls of glass with a hell of a view of Biscayne Bay, not to mention a theater, wine cellar, guest house, and more than enough dock space. No matter who buys it or where they are from, it will always be LeBron’s house.
